Evolution and Trends of Sustainable Approaches: Latest Development and Innovations in Science and Technology Applications

Evolution and Trends of Sustainable Approaches: Latest Development and Innovations in Science and Technology Applications will provide different trends and approaches within the sustainability framework to assess their impact and offer possible solutions to problems facing the global sustainability paradigm. This book will also evaluate sustainability assessment approaches which support different levels of both decision-making and policy processes, thereby improving the management of natural and human systems. This book will find sustainable firm solutions, the upward trend of sustainability, and its variants. At the same time, different existing approaches will be analyzed. These sustainable assessment approaches can be applied to products, services and technologies as well as business models, such as the Product-Service-System (PSS), Circular Economy (CE), Industrial Symbiosis (IS), and Supply Chain (SC). Finally, Evolution and Trends of Sustainable Approaches: Latest Development and Innovations in Science and Technology Applications will explore Sustainability Indicators (SIs), which are widely used to measure and communicate progress towards sustainable development, along with Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA), balancing the three dimensions of sustainability (environmental, social and economic).
